Dear Members,
For sometimes, 5 years in period, one of the owners of a complex with 177 others, was helping school students in the complex and outside to fare best in +2 stages. The parents of the students more out of appreciation of the coaching than on demand by the one, who offered the help, gave monitory benefit.
One of the other owners of the complex aggrieved by the coach getting wealth took it up with the association of owners that the flat of the coach has been used for commercial benefits, the common facilities like lifts are being misused by visiting students and more seriously causing security problems. He managed to get 50 odd other owners to partly agree with him. During General body meeting a resolution was passed seeking the coach to stop his work. The coach bowing to the pressure ensured no students tern up to his flat for academic year 2011-12.
However much to the annoyance of the coach to test whether the coach has put his commitment in action , the Association put a security guard to get entry in a book all those who wanted to go to his flat. The coach protested this is interfering in his privacy and those who came to the flats are his guests only. The Secretary refused to withdraw the book and the coach has approached the police. The police called both the coach and the Secretary for enquiry. The out come is still awaited.
In what capacity police can interfere in this matter? Was the aggrieved person’s action, to stop coaching that went smoothly for 5 years , motivated by jealousy?

I dont think that it was an act of jealousy. The society members can also have other side to hear. If the boys shout and cause nuisance, that will disturb peace of the members residing there. How the students in such a huge strength can be the guests? And what about the increasing pressure on the amenities like lift? Use of the lift by the students would certainly increase electricity bills? Why society should bear that pressure if the coach is getting money may not be as fees. has the coach offered to pay extra for that? All these and other questions may arise.

Be it jealous or motivation, when it is felt as nuisance to the other habitants residing in the flat, problems are imminent when the matter goes to the police for interference.

"In what capacity police can interfere in this matter?"
Police interference comes in play in the name of law and order,so if the breach of peace is likely to be disturbed there police can interfere.
Guessing jealousy or any other motivation in the action taken by secretary in this case is
like to judge things in a biased manner and also a prejudice mind that has little care for common benevolence and has much in him as selfishness even at the risk of causing loss and damages to public,and i can not side such a mind.

using the residential flat for running coaching classes is in violation of the bye laws of the Society. It is good that you have complied with the GB resolution and stopped the classes. Keeping a register to record the details of the visitors to the various flats in the Society is being followed in many Societies for security reasons.But keeping the register to record only the visitors to a particular flat is not in order and the aggteived member can complain to the Registrar of Coop. Societies if the Society does not stop the discriminatory practice.
